[$] KDE Plasma X11 support gets a reprieve for Fedora 40

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 19:06:34 +0000

Description:
The Fedora Project is working toward the release
of Fedora Linux 40, and (as with each release) that means changes
to the way the project works and the software included in its repositories. 
Most
of the changes
set for Fedora 40 are uncontroversial, but one change is causing quite
a stir. The KDE Special Interest Group's (SIG) proposal to adopt KDE Plasma 6 
with only Wayland session support, which it interpreted as a mandate to block 
any X11 packages for Plasma. Others saw it as overreach by the SIG, and an 
attempt to block users and contributors from maintaining software they needed.
